Reps

Dear Members


The Reps Executive Committee has made two new senior appointments to the team of staff at Reps Theatre, both of which will strengthen the team and each of which will make a significant contribution to the future well-being of The repertory Players and the theatre.

It has been some time since we had a Theatre Manager and it has been Exco’s belief that this position is important in the present and future rolling out of the Strategic Plan. We are pleased, therefore, to announce that John Bonney will take up this position with effect from Friday July 1. John is a longstanding member, with more than 40 years’ experience, and is a former Chairman of The Repertory Players. He retired from the insurance business a couple of years ago and has decided to become part of the team that is taking Reps into what we hope will be an exciting period of consolidation and growth. We welcome him ‘ on board’ and wish him well in this position and in his many tasks.

We shall also have a new Society Secretary with effect from Friday July 1: this will be Philippa Johnston, another familiar face within the Reps membership. She has worked in a number of business areas in Kadoma and Harare over the past few decades and has, since moving to Harare some years ago, been active in Reps (and was highly active in the Campbell Theatre Club in Kadoma previously). She will be taking over from Erin Cooper, who is moving on to pastures greener and more technological! We welcome Philippa, too, and wish her well in this position.

The Executive Committee

Luna Eclipse

Total Eclipse of the Moon - Wed 15th June 2011


Don't forget to watch the total lunar eclipse on Wednesday. The eclipse starts at 8:22pm, is total from 9:21 pm to 11:02pm, and ends at 00:02am. It will be visible from all of Africa, although north-west Africa misses the start.

You don't need any special equipment to watch this - it's worth taking a look, especially at the start of the eclipse, when the Moon starts moving into the shadow of the Earth (at 8:22pm).

The next total lunar eclipse will be at a slightly warmer time of the year but it's a long wait - Sept 28th 2015 - and it's at 3am . . .

A map of the sky on eclipse night is at www.planetarium.co.za - the Scorpion should become visible above the Moon during totality. We have a list of eclipse events at the same website. The Planetarium will be running 30 min eclipse shows [7:45pm and 8:45pm] with eclipse viewing and a couple of telescopes.

Saturn in our evening skies

If you haven't seen Saturn yet - it's very easy to spot in the early evenings - looks like a bright, slightly yellowish "star" high in the north (almost overhead). It's very close to the fainter star Porrima, which helps locate it.

Found

FOUND :  Black handbag in ditch on Kew Drive, Highlands.  No ID or form of identification inside but probably discarded after a theft.  Contact Hilton Scott 0772 867578 or hilton@winggers.com
